2 New Updates and Changes in this Fix Pack

2.1 New Updates:

2.1.1 Updated EventQueue Page

The Event Queue Page in the WBI Monitor Administration Utility has been updated to exclude the Events Table and display a hyperlink named Show Events Summary. Clicking this hyperlink displays a new page that contains the total number of events that have not been processed yet by the event processor.

Top

2.1.2 Reporting Against Ready State

WBI Monitor now can display the users which have an activity ready in their queues in the Business Dashboard reports as follows:

Top

2.1.4 Other Updates

Important Note: For the Char type Business Measures that hold string values, the calculated value must not exceed 63 characters. Otherwise the value will be truncated.

  1. Allow copying and pasting text in the Constraint Builder dialog box of the Security Page in the WBI Monitor Administration Utility.

  2. The Weighing Factor field that appears when the user selects the Trend Analysis in the Business Dashboard's Configuration page accepts now values between 0 to 1

  3. The State column header in the Process Instance Table has changed to Status.
  4. Allow exporting the Process Instances table details for multiple processes. This is done by adding a new page named Export CSV page. Through this page the user can select one or more processes and export their Process Instances table details to a zipped file which will contain multiple Comma Separated Values (CSV) files, one for each selected process.
  5. Allow exporting all users and groups with their security information (permissions) and their views data to an XML file format. This is done through a new page named Users Profile page under the Import/Export section in the WBI Monitor Administration Utility. Through this page the user can also import Users Profile XML file that has been created in the same or another Monitor application.
  6. Improved access to MQ Workflow Tables: All WBI Monitor queries against the events tables have been tuned to avoid full table scans. Necessary indexes have been added to enhance the response time, and keep working even if it is shut down till a build up of millions of events was accumulated.

  7. Tuned Notification Processing: Notification processing is tuned to avoid running the previously reported SQL statements that scan all the users many times within a transaction.

2.2 Fixed Bugs:

  1. PMR 84456,180,000,  The DB2 Access in Monitor Event Queues has been enhanced.

  2. JR18456 - In any saved views of the Workflow Dashboard, it is applicable now to navigate through different pages if the Process Instances table includes more than 10 instances.

  3. The problem that occurred when large data segments are used in Oracle database. This took place when the Process data associated with an event was larger than 1 k, and caused the ArrayOutofBound error.

  4. When an activity instance is completed, the name of the user who completed the activity instance is now displayed in the Assigned Employee column of the Activity Instance table, instead of displaying a blank string.

  5. The events for the "FMCINTERNALNOOP" activity (NOOP Activity) is now ignored and no related errors appear in the log file.

  6. JR 18956 - Fixed the Events Timestamp Duplication problem: In case of using Oracle database, the problem that was exist due to the duplication of events timestamp has been solved to handle these events properly.

  7. PMR 17808,379,000: In the Event Queue Page of the WBI Monitor Administration Utility, a blank value is now displayed for the "Last Processed Event" if there is no events in queue, instead of displaying the GMT value of 01/01/1970.
